Sleep Tips for This Age
- ✓Newborns have irregular sleep patterns - this is completely normal
- ✓Wake windows should be very short (45-60 minutes) to prevent overtiredness
- ✓Feed on demand - newborns typically eat every 2-3 hours
- ✓Safe sleep: always place baby on back in empty crib
- ✓Night and day confusion is common - keep nights dark and quiet
- ✓Watch for sleepy cues: yawning, eye rubbing, looking away
